Degrees and Accreditation

Stonehill College offers a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degrees.

Stonehill College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., a non-governmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering post-graduate instruction.

Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

A copy of the documents describing Stonehill’s accreditation and its state and federal licensing are available upon request to Stonehill College, Attn: Clerk of the Corporation, 320 Washington Street, Easton, MA 02357.
